1. What is the UK Salary Tax Calculator?

The UK Salary Tax Calculator estimates your Income Tax and National Insurance contributions for the 2025-26 tax year based on your annual salary. It helps you understand your take-home pay after deductions.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formulas:

\[ \text{Income Tax} = \text{Basic Rate} + \text{Higher Rate} + \text{Additional Rate} \] \[ \text{National Insurance} = \text{Class 1 Contributions} \] \[ \text{Total Tax} = \text{Income Tax} + \text{National Insurance} \]

Where:

Basic Rate: 20% on income between £12,571 and £50,270
Higher Rate: 40% on income between £50,271 and £125,140
Additional Rate: 45% on income above £125,140
National Insurance: 12% between £12,571-£50,270 and 2% above £50,270

Details: UK taxpayers pay both Income Tax and National Insurance. The Personal Allowance (£12,570) is the amount you can earn tax-free. National Insurance funds state benefits and the NHS.
